I'm looking for homeschool online curriculum such as clever island or brainpop? They don't have to be free...

Question

Reviews from actual users would be great. I like the layout of clever island...I'm just shopping around before I commit.

Answer 1

I used an online program through Bridgeway Academy.  I found it to be an excellent program.  In the end your child will have transcripts.

Answer 2

Well, I am in 7th grade, I love homeschooling. I finished at 12:00. I don't know any online websites, but I do know a great math program. It is the Saxon Math D.I.V.E for the computer and I love it! You can buy it off Rainbow resources. It is very simple, the teacher does the lesson with you, you do questions with him and he explains everything perfectly! Hope I helped!

Answer 3

Do you want a full curriculum, or just supplemental (I consider BrainPop supplemental)?

We've had a subscription to Cosmeo for over two years and *love* it.  It is thousands of on-demand videos, games, weblinks, clip art, and Nutshell Math - which make it worth the price of $9.95/mo or $99/year.  There's a free, one month trial.

There's also Time 4 Learning; it's $20 a month:

It looks like Clever Island is limited to ages 3-8.  For that reason, I personally wouldn't use it.

If you're looking for online, full HS curriculum, then look into K12.  It's what we've used for five years.  To purchase it without ties to a virtual public school, click on any of the "buy K12 direct" links.  The direct purchase option is called Consumer Direct.

Answer 4

I use Florida Virtual School, which is free.

The only catch is you have to live in Florida.

My friend used keystone, and he's incredibly smart, also he's graduating a year early.

This one has an anual fee, but I'm not sure what it is.
